A photographic competition open to all on the theme "Torrone identità, territorio ed innovazione" ws staged one year which means what you might expect.

All participants are invited to submit a image which represents the culture, territory and innovation around the product. A recent menu included risotto alla verza, pesto Franciacorta Satèn Millesimato, sturgeon with beans and lentils, pear salad and chocolate torrone paté.

In 1998 while this festival was in progress, Sperlari, Cremona's biggest and oldest torrone manufacturer, constructed a 115-meter long loaf of nougat weighing 600 kilos, with the hope of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records.

If you have ever wondered what wine to drink with torrone, try Doc San Martino della Battaglia Liquorosa from the Consorzio di Tutela Vini Garda Classico.

The video above is a wonderful introduction to the event and is accompanied with some suitably festive music of the time of year and Dan Hostetler adds more here: "There are many legends about torrone's origins, but one historical document, dating back to October 25, 1441, is considered proof that the nougat made its earliest appearance in Italy at the wedding banquet of Bianca Maria Visconti and Francesco Sforza in Cremona.
